Campus Briefs
Organization offices move to strengthen accessibility
The results of a report on the accessibility of student services have prompted changes in four organizations' office locations.
The Student Task Force on Women Students' Needs and the Office of the Provost's Task Force on the Structure and Delivery of Student Services' study suggested that students would benefit more if campus groups were more centralized.
The Emily Taylor's Women's Resource Center, the Men's Outreach Program, Nontraditional Student Services and the Lesbian/Bisexual/Gay/Transgender Services will be relocating from Strong Hall to the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
In addition to office relocation, the Student Organizations and the Leadership Development Center will be renamed as the Center for Campus Life starting July 1. The transfer will affect the University Information Center, which will move to the front desk area of the Anschutz Library.
Danny Kaiser, director of the Center for Campus Life, said the groups moving to the Kansas Union would be able to contact his office easier because his office is at the same location.
"How much better it will be for the Queers and Allies," Kaiser said. "Now their office will be only a few doors down if they need anything."
New black-box stage gears up for first musical performance
Amy Kelly
For the first time in more than 10 years, The University Theatre is producing a fullscale musical for performance in a blackbox theater.
A Grand Night for Singing, a review of musical numbers by Rogers and Hammerstein, is slated to open in Murphy Hall's William Inge Memorial Theatre.
"It's a series of songs, creating ideas and emotions that string together stages of life," said Caitlin McDonald, assistant director and stage manager.
The black-box venue of the Inge Theatre is a thrust stage that allows seats to surround three sides of the stage. Instead of performing the intricate musical routines for one viewing angle, the actors must perform for three different planes of vision.
The theater seats 120 people for the musical, while approximately 1,100 seats would be available in the larger Crafton-Preyer Theatre. However, McDonald said the large
theater did not usually fill, and any loss from the decreased number of seats would probably be balanced by the smaller set production and orchestra ensemble in the blackbox theater.
"The intense musical experience in the black box is much more impressive than a big flashy stage and more seats." McDonald said.
A Grand Night for Singing opens at 7:30 p.m. on June 20.

Associate professor named as interim dean for one year
Thomas Heilke, associate professor of political science, has been named the interim associate dean of international programs at the University of Kansas. Heilke will serve as dean during the 2003- 04 academic year.
"This is an exciting opportunity to do positive things at the University and in the department," Heilke said.
Heilke replaces Paul D'Anieri, who has accepted the position of director of Russian and East European studies at the University. Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school and international programs offered the position to Heilke.
During his interim year, Heilke will help prepare a review of the best practices in international education at the University. The report will provide direction for the associate dean to expand international activities throughout the University and capitalize on the University's international resources.
Heilke holds a doctoral degree from Duke University and studied in Berlin. His research areas include political theory, international relations and Canadian studies. He served as director of graduate studies in political science at the University from 1997 to 2001.
